Profits Come From Business Models, Not Ideas 
Amanda Steinberg, founder of DailyWorth.com, has something to tell you. She's not that interested in your ideas. No. In fact, what she cares about more is how your products work in a business context (a.k.a. makes money). Want to know where to start? She'll lead the way.

What advice would Dana give herself if she could go back in time? "Once you know you have a market for your work, make your business legitimate. I wish I would have set up a business bank account first thing and applied for a business license. When funds are coming into PayPal you are not really thinking of taxes at the end of the year or paying into Medicare and unemployment."  Read on to hear Dana's number one marketing tip!


How to Rock Your Etsy Team 
When I first started selling on Etsy, almost four years ago, I was a member of the two Etsy Teams. I really don't think I would have been able to put so much into my business, and grow so fast without the support of these two Teams. Both Teams had very enthusiastic and organized members, and we worked well together. The RI Handmade Team has just published a blog post explaining their four stages of successful Team development: "Forming," "Storming," "Norming," and "Performing." I also encourage you to check out the Etsy Teams program and build your own supportive community to help you flourish!

 
Best, 

Danielle
